Welcome to the Two Newest Members of the Strong Towns Team!

Just like this movement as a whole, the Strong Towns staff has been growing a lot these past couple of years, and we’re excited to bring two more amazing individuals onboard! Please join us in welcoming Lindsey Beckworth and Allison Oliver to the team.

Lindsey Beckworth is joining as our new Curriculum Writer. Lindsey fell in love with community activism during the eight years she owned a bakery in a small town with big potential in rural Georgia. As a passionate storyteller, she uses her journalism and copywriting experience to help Community Action Lab participants understand how they can apply Strong Towns principles, change the narrative in their communities, and create a prosperous future for the places they love. Lindsey lives in Greenville, South Carolina, with her husband, Chris, and an ever-growing garden filled with dahlias and peonies.

Allison Oliver is the new Administrative Assistant at Strong Towns. Allison has worked in real estate for the past 10 years, with a focus on title insurance. She enjoys gardening, hiking, traveling, and patio season. She moved to Breezy Point, Minnesota, two years ago and lives in a cabin in the woods, surrounded by Forestry Service land. She’s passionate about food and cooking—from recipe creation, to picking ingredients, to spending three hours making a meal.
